L&C Associates Completes Deactivation Of M/V Cape Inscription L&C Associates, Inc. recently an- nounced the completion of a dehu- midification and sealing system aboard the M/V Cape Inscription. The RO/RO is being dehumidified to protect it from corrosion while laid-up in Mobile, Ala. Most notable to the installation is the use of the Protective Sealing System (PSS) to seal openings lead- ing to the dehumidified spaces. PSS is a spray-applied, semi-adhering, flexible, vinyl plastic which pre- vents moisture from migrating into the dehumidified spaces. Since PSS is strippable, the vessel can be reac- tivated quickly, a key requirement of the lay-up specification. L&C technicians repaired and balanced the existing desiccant de- humidification system and rein- stalled the ducting which distrib- utes the dehumidified air. In addi- tion, L&C conducted tests to verify that the d/h system will maintain the required relative humidity. Dehumidified areas include: en- gine space, accommodations, steer- ing gear, cranes, CO, room, anchor windlass and bow thruster.
